Phil Baxter is the man. Always pure, clean, transparent winemaking. I prefer the Oppenlander vineyard but this is delicious. 6-7 years seems a sweet spot for these AV PNs.

Very Burgundian. Fruit has a savage/wild/spicy/ thing going. Taste like cranberry juiced mixed with root beer. Pair with lamb shanks. 13.5%

One of the best Mendocino coast pinots I've tasted. Sophisticated. 100% neutral oak-- lets authentic fruit flavors come through. 30% whole cluster fermentation adds depth & complexity.
